polishto

PolishTo is a community-driven software project and online platform focused on the Polish language. It provides tools for translating to and from Polish, terminology management, and collaborative editing to support accuracy in multilingual content. The project aims to improve accessibility of Polish-language resources and to assist translators, educators, and developers working with Polish.

PolishTo began as a volunteer effort by linguists and software developers who sought to combine machine translation with human post-editing and a shared glossary. The project distributes its software and data under open licenses and maintains a public repository and web interface where users can contribute translations, report errors, and propose new terminology. It emphasizes openness, reproducibility, and community governance.

Key features include a neural translation backend tailored to Polish, a termbase for domain-specific vocabulary, a crowdsourced correction workflow, translation memory, and an API for integration into content management systems and localization pipelines. The platform supports document uploads in common formats, website localization workflows, and developer access for custom integrations. It also offers reference materials such as style guides and bilingual glossaries to support consistent terminology.

Governance is community-led, with maintainers overseeing code quality, licensing, and roadmap, and contributors participating through issue trackers and pull requests. PolishTo is used by language educators, non-profit organizations, and small localization teams, while continued development focuses on improving domain coverage, consistency, and user experience.
